Minor Threat

Minor Threat

Sweet anise and rugged wormwood shine through this lyrical mix. If you're substituting a standard gin -- Hendrick's is infused with cucumber and rose petals -- muddle a slice of cucumber in the shaker and garnish the glass with another cucumber slice.

Ingredients

1 ounce Aperol liqueur

3/4 ounce Hendrick's Gin

1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/4 ounce absinthe

1 egg white

6 drops rose water

4 drops or a spray of absinthe (for garnish)

Instructions

In a shaker, combine Aperol, gin, lemon juice, absinthe, egg white and rose water; shake without ice to blend. Add ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a stemmed glass. Top with the 4 drops of absinthe.
